On the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti and the birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri, Jharkhand Governor Santosh Kumar Gangwar and Chief Minister Hemant Soren paid floral tributes to the two national icons at Bapu Vatika in Morabadi, Ranchi, on Thursday.

While I appreciate the tribute, I wish our politicians would actually implement Gandhi's and Shastri's values in governance. Clean politics and honest administration would be the real tribute to these great souls.

Both Gandhi and Shastri lived simple lives and served the nation selflessly. If only our current leaders could follow their example of austerity and dedication to public service. The tribute is meaningful, but actions speak louder than words.
